Claravis Side Effect Attorneys
Claravis is a generic form of Accutane made by Barr Laboratories. It contains the chemical compound isotretinoin, the same active ingredient as Accutane. Isotretinoin helps to control acne by reducing a patient’s skin oil production, resulting in fewer and less severe breakouts. Unfortunately, isotretinoin in any of its marketed forms is now known to cause adverse side effects.
If you or someone you know has experienced negative effects from taking Claravis or a related acne medication, you may be eligible to receive compensation. Contact the Claravis side effect attorneys of Williams Kherkher today at 800-761-3187 for a free case evaluation.
Manufacturing History of Claravis
After Roche Pharmaceuticals lost their patent exclusivity for Accutane as an isotretinoin-based acne medication in 2002, Claravis was one of the many generic forms released to compete with Accutane. Offered at a lower price than Accutane, it has been marketed as an affordable alternative for acne medication. Claravis was originally produced by Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a global pharmaceutical company based in New Jersey. In 2008, the company was acquired by Teva Pharmaceuticals, though Claravis continues to be manufactured by Barr Laboratories, now a subsidiary of Teva.
Side Effects of Claravis
While it is manufactured under a different name and by a different company, Claravis has the same chemical composition as other isotretinoin-based acne treatment medications. Because they all share the same active ingredient, they all pose the same risk for causing adverse side effects. Some of the possible side effects that users of Claravis may experience include:
- Crohn’s Disease
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Birth Defects
- Depression
If you have taken Claravis and have been harmed by unexpected side effects, you may have legal grounds to initiate a lawsuit against the manufacturer for your injuries or illness. These harmful conditions can have a lasting effect on your physical and mental health as well as your quality of life. You may be eligible to receive compensation for any negative side effects that you have experienced as a result of taking Claravis, so do not hesitate to speak to an experienced side effect attorney about your case today.
